This initial installation process takes from a few seconds up to a minute or so. If the dongle is inserted into a new port,
the process is repeated.
Application software
Two concurrently running applications are required to operate the FUNcube Dongle Pro+. One program ( FCHid2 .exe)
controls the tuning and other adjustments of the FUNcube Dongle Pro+ hardware. The second application performs the
demodulation of signals. There are many demodulation programs that are compatible with the FUNcube Dongle, and
for this example the
SDRSharp program will be used.

Download FCHid from http://www.funcubedongle.com/MyImages/FCHid2Exe.zip

Download the SDRSharp program from http://sdrsharp.com/downloads/sdr-stable.zip
Unzip the programs into appropriate directories, and run both the FCHid and the SDRSharp executables. It may be
convenient to create desktop icon shortcuts at this point if desired.
Each time SDRSharp is started, it is recommended that the following settings are adjusted for use with the FUNcube
Dongle Pro+:

Radio section: Check Swap I & Q

Audio section: Set Rate to 192k Sample/s

Audio section: Set Input to FUNcube Dongle V2.0
To start demodulation, press the Play button.
